Favre, Vikes no class

Unbelievable that the Vikes just went for it on 4th down with 2 minutes left being up by 24. Absolutely no class. I know this is the playoffs and you don’t ever want to give your opponent even the smallest opening. But that was ridiculous – especially on 4th down. While Dallas has played like crap and they don’t deserve any sympathy here, that was poor sportsmanship.

It was classless. I was surprised Favre was still in the game with 5 minutes remaining and the game, for all intents and purposes, was over. And then to score a touchdown on 4th down like that. Totally unnecessary.

I would say that since Chilly and Judas got into it about Judas changing plays…it could very well have been Judas insisting – he seems to get his way.

And yes, they are both classless jerks who deserve each other.

Methinks there COULD be a perfect Super Bowl involving Judas…he gets there and either a) the Jets kick teh Vikes’ asses or…even better…the Vikes lose to the Jets on a last minute desperation interception by you know who. That, indeed, would be the football gods (and “true” Packer fans) having their revenge.

That ending was certainly unexpected. Is it too late to rush a large annoying horn to N.O. so the Saints fans can blow it constantly. We’ll get to see how well Bent can handle the Offense with the crappy Super Dome holding the noise level up while he tries to be mister ball manager. I can’t wait til they move that franchise to LA.

Ben, I am a “true” Packer fan and I wouldn’t presume to tell someone else what to think…just sharing my opinion. Which is what this spot is about, I suspect. Please feel free to share your own, whatever it might be.

An espn sportsnation poll asks this question. Nationwide, 81% says that play was part of the game 19% thinks it’s unsportsmanlike. In Texas about 60% thought it’s part of the game and 40% thought it was unsportsmanlike.

For the record – I would have written this same post if something like this had happened in any of the other games. Had nothing to do with Favre being the one who did it. Just don’t think it was very respectful.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with the call. If they hadn’t gone for it, Dallas could have scored, and started a new momentum going. Anything can happen in a football game. And, honestly, I don’t mind seeing the Cowboys get a dressing down. Cool blog by the way.

I think the issue is that up by 24, the Cowboys needed either 3 TDs and a FG or 3 TDs with 3 2-point conversions to tie or 4 TDs to win and with only 2 minutes remaining the odds of that happening were slim to none. Going for it on 4th down basically is rubbing salt in the wound.
